Quite the title and quite appropriate for this career-spanning compilation, from the band earliest recordings in 1984 up through 1992. Unfortunately the liner notes aren't all they could be, listing the origins of some of the tracks but not all. A fair amount are true rarities, though, including cuts from EPs, re-recordings and studio jams, not to mention an unreleased cut or two. Perhaps unsurprisingly, To Mega Therion and Into the Pandemonium cuts feature prominently, though some of the more successful cuts from later albums crop up as well.
The emphasis is mostly on the doom-shadowed side of the band work than its sometimes striking genre explorations, though the joys of ""Tristesses de la Lune"" and a live-in-the-studio rerecording of ""Mexican Radio"" help leaven up proceedings. It amusing to hear Warrior voice change from time to time as the cuts move backward and forward chronologically, from the earlier roars and yelps to the smoother, sleazier approach later on. Add in the sometimes portentous and sometimes lustfully moaning female guest vocals for effect, and things definitely were a most surprising brew sometimes in Frostland. As for the roiling death stomp material the band made its name with, cuts like the vicious Therion tracks ""The Usurper"" and ""Circle of The Tyrants,"" to name but two standouts, make it clear that it wasn't all hype. Appropriately corroded cover art and the full source of the title quote -- an ancient Greek/Roman prayer -- add to the veneer of historical weight the band played around with more than once.


5.0 out of 5 stars The best Celtic Frost you've never heard,
Despite their enormous influence on extreme metal, Celtic Frost are just too weird to allow them to attract a huge following. However, their fans are as loyal as they come, and those fans will find much to enjoy on this CD.
This is not a greatest hits collection. It predates Monotheist and contains very few tracks from Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion. Instead, it is an incredible overview of their music and contains some brilliant rare material from various phases in their career that even the casual fan will enjoy.
I will discuss the songs by chronological order rather than track listing, since it illustrates the evolution of the band sound. ""Journey Into Fear"" (1985) is a demo-quality recording with Reed St. Mark and was never released. It is a fascinating if not great song with bits of ""The Third Of The Storms"", ""Into The Crypts Of Rays"", and ""Jewel Throne"" thrown in. ""The Inevitable Factor"" (1987) is an Into The Pandemonium-era song featuring Warrior ""tragic"" vocal style that is quite good and could have easily made it onto the album. ""In The Chapel In The Moonlight"" (1987) is a catchy thrash version of the Dean Martin classic that is just plain fun. The underrated Vanity/Nemesis record is well represented with ""A Descent To Babylon"" (1989), a very good B-side release, as well as ""The Heart Beneath"", ""Wings Of Solitude"", and ""The Name Of My Bride"".
Two gems on the record are ""Juices Like Wine"" and ""Downtown Hanoi"" (1991), re-recordings of songs off the much-maligned Cold Lake record which sound much heavier and more aggressive than the original versions. History would regard Cold Lake more kindly if the entire album were re-recorded this way (and if they got rid of the violet cover and hideous band photographs).
Finally, what really makes this collection worth buying are two songs that were recorded for an album that Celtic Frost would never complete. ""Idols Of Chagrin"" (1991) has a bit of a funk groove but typical Celtic Frost heaviness and ""Under Apollyon Sun"" (1991) is a crushing, doomy behemoth. Both are great songs that sound unlike anything the band had previously recorded. Alas, what could have been.
All in all, a unique collection of rarities and a definite must have for the Celtic Frost aficionado. For the neophyte, a good album to own if only to see that there is so much more to this group than just Monotheist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Celtic Frost Fan Forever,
I've been a Celtic Frost fan ever since I heard the 'Morbid Tales' and I've been through all of their LP and I compliment them on the subtle changes in their style of music, and I really think that it is best shown on this particular LP. Now this LP is not what I would consider a BEST OF but it does have some of their more popular songs like 'Circle Of Tyrants' and 'Return To The Eve' to name a few, but what I really enjoyed was the jam sessions and the songs that were cut from the LP that they had released. I own every Celtic Frost LP that they have released and I constantly listen to them. I love Thomas G Warrior voice and I love the music that Celtic Frost creates.
